5 bedroom detached house for sale

A strikingly handsome five-bedroom, double fronted, detached family house set on this desirable tree-lined street, moments from Tooting Bec common.


The wide hallway is central to the house, with an elegant reception room on the left. The room benefits from high ceilings with intricate cornicing, parquet wooden floors, a stunning feature fireplace and large and attractive bay windows which flood the room with light. The hallway leads through to the expansive kitchen breakfast room, found at the rear of the property, which is arranged across the entire lateral space of the back of the house. The room is also accessed via double doors from the study, which is found on the other side of the entrance hallway.

The kitchen itself has an excellent range of sleek modern wall and base units with integrated appliances, including stone worksurfaces and a breakfast bar/ kitchen island. The light kitchen family room has been split into three distinct zones, with a casual seating area, dining area and the kitchen, making this space perfect for everyday family living. The entire space is wonderfully bright thanks to the skylights and double set of bi-fold doors, which open to the garden.

The professionally designed 46ft south-east facing garden features a terrace, which then leads onto the lawn and then a further raised terrace at the bottom of the garden, which is perfect for catching both the morning and afternoon sun. The mature borders of the garden have been specifically selected so that they provide year-round colour and interest whilst being extremely private. There is side access to the garden from the front of the property alongside off-street parking for a car and a front garden.

The principal suite is arranged to the front of the first floor and benefits from high ceilings, large sash windows, and a spacious en suite shower room with a large walk-in shower. At the back of the house are two further good-sized double bedrooms, both benefiting from fitted wardrobes, a further contemporary family bathroom and a useful airing cupboard. Stairs lead up to the second floor and two further excellent double bedrooms. One of which features an en-suite bathroom and bespoke fitted wardrobes. There is a further room which features plenty of storage and can be used as a walk-in wardrobe. A WC on this floor completes the accommodation. Good storage can also be found in the substantial cellar, which is currently used as a utility room and the loft.
